ClayShare is where thousands of potters — total beginners and lifelong makers alike — learn to handbuild at their own pace, led by founder Jessica Putnam-Phillips. This fall, we're building something together: an entire autumn table, one handmade piece at a time. Nine classes. Three months. Join anytime, and make them in whatever order fits your life.
